It is exactly the point - if you tamper with a box that Virgin have installed or sent to you directly, then VM know exactly did it i.e. you.
They know this because they know the state of the box when they installed / sent it to you.

Here is an official response from Virgin Media from 3 years ago:

The box your friend has given to you will be obsolete because your friend has not returned the box to us it will of been removed from the system and will no longer work for anyone else who tried to use it. Your friend may end up being chased for £250 for not returning the box to us upon leaving. They would of been sent packaging to return the box to us, or a courier would of been arranged to attend an pick up the box. The box is useless to you as you are not going to be able to use it.

Hi jab91,
As per all the other posts on this thread, the Tivo box is of no use to you.
If you would like to add Tivo to your package then you will need to speak to Customer Services about upgrading.
You will need to give the Tivo box back to your friend as otherwise he will be charged for not returning the equipment.
You can reach Customer Services on 150 (free) from a Virgin Media land line or alternatively 0845 454 1111 (chargeable) from any other line.
